Strabo – “Geography”
“There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by.

518 INHUMATION, CKEMATION, AND <strong>THE</strong> SOUL,<br />
There is some evidence that the northern cremationists,<br />
like the Acheans, believed that the Spirit-land lay in the West.<br />
Perhaps the ordinance of Odin that the ashes of the dead<br />
should be sent out to sea points in this direction, but it is clear<br />
from Procopius' that in the sixth century of our era, the peoples<br />
of north-west Europe held that the soul of the departed<br />
journeyed westward. He says that he had heard it frequently<br />
stated in all seriousness <strong>by</strong> the natives that the souls passed<br />
into the western part of Britain (p. 177). A peninsula opposite<br />
Britain was inhabited <strong>by</strong> a folk, who both tilled the soil, fished<br />
and traded to Britain'-.<br />
They were subject to the Franks, but<br />
paid no tribute <strong>by</strong> virtue of the ancient service of ferrying the<br />
souls out into the Ocean to Britain. Those whose turn it was<br />
to discharge this duty went home at nightfall ;ind lay down to<br />
sleep. Housed i'nnn their beds at dead of night <strong>by</strong> weird<br />
knocking at the door, they went down to the shore seeing no<br />
wight, but C(jnstrained <strong>by</strong> a mysterious<br />
voice and a resistless<br />
im]julse. There shi[)s, not their own but stranger, stood ready<br />
to depart, but on them was seen no one of mortal mould.<br />
Embarking they grasped the oars, and found the barks laden to<br />
the gunwah' with an invisible freight. A voyage which took<br />
th(,'ir own ships a (i;iy<br />
and a night was accomjjHshed in a siiigh><br />
hour. Biitain reached, they I'eturned at once, the ships now<br />
being light and buoyant.<br />
